VI – Review
Here’s a couple of reviews for VI, very happy that folks have noticed the more personal elements to this one 🙂 SB Wright’s Review of VI No, when I say more personal, it’s not that Capes hasn’t written in detail about his life, travels and growing up in a setting that I can deeply relate…

For part of the Magical Realism Blog Hop initiated over at Zoe Brooks’ awesome site, I wanted to post something new but I’m a bit pressed for time so I thought I’d share this post from my other site instead: A Wild Sheep Chase – Mini Review I loved A Wild Sheep Chase…

The Tintin 2015 Reading Challenge: The Crab with the Golden Claws
Next up in my Tintin Reading Challenge is The Crab with the Golden Claws. (Last time I read King Ottokar’s Sceptre). It’s been a while since I’ve posted on Tintin and, as before, I’m behind schedule so expect a few more Tintin posts close together soon 🙂 Another of my favourites – probably because it’s…

The Tintin 2015 Reading Challenge: King Ottokar’s Sceptre
The next entry in my Tintin Reading Challenge is King Ottokar’s Sceptre. (Previous entry is The Black Island). While I’m still running behind, I’m confident I can finish them all in 2015! And so, here’s my review: I felt Ottokar’s Sceptre was ‘only’ good rather than great. It’s not that there are any clear faults…

The Tintin 2015 Reading Challenge: The Black Island
Continuing my Tintin Reading Challenge is an entry for The Black Island. (Last time I read The Broken Ear).

The Tintin 2015 Reading Challenge: The Broken Ear
Finally posting the third entry in my 2015 Tintin reading challenge tonight with The Broken Ear! (So far I’ve also read Cigars & The Blue Lotus). This one’s a solid entry into the Tintin series for me– and a solid Tintin story is still pretty ace when you get down to it, but ultimately, it’s…

The Tintin 2015 Reading Challenge: The Blue Lotus
Continuing my 2015 Tintin reading challenge tonight with The Blue Lotus. Earlier in the month I read Cigars of the Pharaoh and the storyline from that volume actually wraps up here. The Blue Lotus is a special one for a few reasons, it’s got a pretty fantastic cover and some wonderful large panels, especially when…

The Tintin 2015 Reading Challenge: Cigars of the Pharaoh
So, a while back I decided to read all the Tintin books in 2015, which I’m really looking forward to. The challenge itself is pretty simple – I have to read about 2 a month. What might take a bit of time will be tracking down the first few and the last one. (The others…

A Review & Some Opportunities
Today I wanted to share a couple of opportunities for writers and link to a fantastic review of Stepping Over Seasons, by Sean Wright. Thrilled to read it, not just because he enjoyed the collection, but because as with all reviews, it’s shown me something about my own work that I hadn’t realised. And it’s…
